Learning Patience
James 5:11
Behold, we count them happy which endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord…


There is no such thing as preaching patience into people unless the sermon is so long that they have to practise it while they hear. No man can learn patience except by going out into the hurly-burly world, and taking life just as it blows. Patience is but lying-to and riding out the gale.

(H. W. Beecher.)
